Bau Trang, a hidden gem nestled in Phan Thiet, has long been a dream destination for travel enthusiasts and those passionate about exploring magnificent natural beauty. This place is not only famous for its smooth white sand dunes stretching like the Sahara Desert but also captivates visitors with the clear blue Bau Sen Lake, the romantic Hon Rom coastal road, the brilliant red sand dunes, and the peaceful Mui Ne fishing village. A Bau Trang – Phan Thiet tour will be a journey to fully explore the most wonderful things this land offers, promising to bring you memorable and emotional experiences.
Bau Trang – “Mini Sahara” of Vietnam
The first stop and also the symbol of the Bau Trang – Phan Thiet tour is the Bau Trang white sand dune, also known as Bach Ho, Bau Cat. Coming here, you will be amazed by the pristine, majestic natural scenery with endless stretches of white sand. It feels like stepping into the vast Sahara Desert, but adorned with the charming beauty of the blue Bau Sen freshwater lake nestled among the sand dunes.
Bau Trang is not only beautiful on the outside but also hides interesting things inside. The origin of Bau Trang is associated with the desertification process and the erosion of sea winds, creating unique sand dunes that constantly change over time. What is special is that in the arid sandy area, a natural freshwater lake appears, creating a unique contrast and beautiful landscape.
Walking on white sand dunes
When you come to Bau Trang, you can freely explore and experience many interesting activities:
- Walking and admiring the scenery: Strolling on the smooth white sand dunes, feeling the softness of the sand under your feet, and admiring the panoramic view of Bau Trang from above is a wonderful experience. You will admire the majestic beauty of the sand dunes, the clear blue of Bau Sen Lake, and the green casuarina trees surrounding it.
- Experiencing off-road vehicles on sand dunes: If you love thrills, don’t miss the opportunity to experience off-road vehicles (Land Cruiser or ATV motorbike) conquering high sand dunes. The feeling of driving through steep sand slopes, crossing vast sandy hills will make you extremely excited and memorable.
- Taking “virtual living” photos: Bau Trang is a paradise for photography enthusiasts. With its unique natural scenery, you can unleash your creativity and create “million-like” photos. Especially at sunrise or sunset, Bau Trang puts on a mysterious, romantic beauty, which is the ideal time for you to capture memorable moments.
The majesty of the white sand dunes will surprise you with the feeling of being in a vast desert!
Bau Sen Lake – Green Oasis in the Heart of the Sand Desert
Located in the middle of the vast white sand dunes of Bau Trang, Bau Sen Lake appears like a green oasis, bringing gentleness and freshness to the landscape here. The lake surface is clear blue, as flat as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and the surrounding white sand dunes, creating a beautiful natural picture.
In the summer, Bau Sen becomes even more attractive when lotuses bloom, showing off their brilliant pink color on the lake surface. The fragrant scent of lotus spreads throughout the space, bringing a feeling of relaxation and comfort to visitors. You can rent a boat to stroll around the lake, admire the lotus flowers, and enjoy the fresh, peaceful atmosphere here.

Flying Sand Dunes – Brilliant Red “Desert” in the Heart of Mui Ne
The next destination in the Bau Trang – Phan Thiet tour is the Flying Sand Dunes, also known as the Red Sand Dunes. The Flying Sand Dunes are not as large and majestic as Bau Trang, but they have a unique beauty with a brilliant red-orange sand color, standing out against the blue sky.
The Flying Sand Dunes are also an ideal place for you to experience the exciting sand sliding game. The feeling of sliding down from the top of the sand dune will bring you moments of refreshment and unforgettable memories. In addition, you can also rent sand sleds on the spot at affordable prices.

Mui Ne Fishing Village – Explore the Beauty of Marine Culture
Leaving the Flying Sand Dunes, you will come to Mui Ne fishing village, a destination imbued with the culture and life of local people. Coming to the fishing village in the early morning, you will immerse yourself in the bustling atmosphere of the seafood market, where fishermen exchange and trade fresh catches.
You can stroll around the fishing village, admire the colorful basket boats anchored at the wharf, learn about the simple life of the fishing villagers, and enjoy fresh seafood at the seaside eateries. Mui Ne fishing village is not only a tourist attraction but also a place where you can experience and explore the unique cultural beauty of the Phan Thiet sea region.
If you come to the fishing village in the morning, a very interesting thing is: take advantage of the beautiful scenery of the sea + basket boats behind. You will get beautiful photos with a 1k2 background 🙂
Fairy Stream – “Fairyland” in Real Life
The final stop on the Bau Trang – Phan Thiet tour is Fairy Stream, a place with unique and strange beauty. Fairy Stream is not a stream of clear, cool water but a shallow stream flowing between red-orange cliffs and sand dunes.
Walking along Fairy Stream, you will admire the strangely shaped cliffs, formed by the erosion of water and wind over millions of years. The red-orange color of the sand blends with the white and yellow colors of the stalactites, creating a colorful and extremely impressive natural picture. Wading in the cool stream, feeling the softness of the sand under your feet, and admiring the surrounding scenery will be a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
